How does it assist with code quality and testing?

The skill provides patterns for unit and integration testing, micro-benchmarking with Criterion, and using Miri to detect undefined behavior in unsafe code.

Does it support async programming runtimes?

Yes, it offers deep expertise in the Tokio runtime for network applications, as well as alternative runtimes like async-std and general futures-based processing.

Does it provide guidance on external crates?

Yes, it covers the most popular crates in the ecosystem, including Serde for serialization, Reqwest for HTTP, SQLx for databases, and Clap for CLI argument parsing.

Does this skill support the latest Rust features?

Yes, it includes knowledge of the Rust 2024 edition, including features like RPITIT, async functions in traits, and generic associated types (GATs).

Can it help resolve borrow checker errors?

Absolutely. The skill provides expert guidance on ownership patterns, lifetimes, and the use of smart pointers like Box, Arc, and RefCell to resolve complex memory safety issues.

API Development

Accelerates modern systems programming with Rust by providing expert guidance on memory safety, ownership patterns, and high-performance async architectures.

About

The Rust Development skill transforms Claude into a senior systems engineer, offering specialized expertise in the modern Rust ecosystem including Cargo, Clippy, and the Rust 2024 edition. It provides deep technical guidance on managing ownership, lifetimes, and smart pointers to ensure memory safety without a garbage collector. Whether you are building high-concurrency network services with Tokio, optimizing performance with zero-cost abstractions, or implementing robust error handling with thiserror and anyhow, this skill ensures your code follows idiomatic patterns and industry best practices.

Key Features

Expert ownership, borrowing, and lifetime management guidance
Performance profiling and benchmarking with Criterion and flamegraphs
Advanced async programming support with Tokio and Futures
Comprehensive error handling and type-state pattern implementation
3 GitHub stars
Idiomatic code linting and formatting via Clippy and rustfmt integration

Use Cases

Designing memory-safe systems and zero-copy data abstractions
Building high-performance, concurrent backend services and APIs
Migrating and refactoring legacy codebases to idiomatic Rust 2024 standards
